Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁵ Then said some of the people of Jerusalem, is not this the man whom they are seeking to kill? ²⁶ And, lo! he speaketh openly, and they say not a word to him. Do the rulers certainly know that this man is really the Messiah? ²⁷ But we know this man whence he is: but when the Messiah cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
